Marshall’s Senior Project – One Week Away

As I am just one week away from the start of my project, I thought I would give a detailed description of what my first week will look like at SLEDP(St.Louis Economic Development Partnership). My first week will be mostly introductory, after all, it is my first week. I’ll be starting the week touring their office and meeting the people who work on my sponsor’s team. I will also be touring some of the other locations where SLEDP does business these include: Venture works, CIC, Cortex, and T-Rex. These are co-working and innovation centers that house a lot of the St. Louis start-up community. I will also be sitting in on meetings as allowed. Many of these meetings will be about developing marketing strategies to promote Venture Works a co-working facility for local entrepreneurs recently launched by SLEDP. I will be checking in throughout the week with pictures from my tours and updates from meetings i.e things I’ve learned from them and people I’ve met. I’ve provided links to the places mentioned including SLEDP, the websites highlight projects taking place in the St.Louis area some of which I will be a part of. Have an awesome rest of your spring break.
